WU 10 min elliptical, HR 140
So.. before I tell you my workout.. I am proud of this workout.. I almost wanted to throw up by the end... I will note however, that my lower back has been EXTREMELY tight and sore since Monday (even with icing, heating, and massage) it's still really feeling weak.. so I listened to my body and pushed it to what I felt I should without making anything worse.
20 front squats w/ bar
20 reg squats w/ bar
Deadlifts: 135 x 10, 135 x 10 (this is all I could do with back pumps and soreness still.. I wanted to make it through the rest with good numbers)

Quads BURNING, lower back aching... this is where I could of puked... I can barely walk up/down stairs without my legs wanting to cramp and literally fail.
Walked on treadmill at 2.0 spd 1.0 incline (that's all I could manage..) for 20 mins.
Veins still aren't showing out the skin on forearms, but I can see them on heavy lifts.. maybe a week or two more...
I loved today.. it felt amazing. I know I'm going to be sore.
